I have a series of kvm vms I am running via libvirt. I have bind9 and dhcp3-server installed and I am happy with their configuration. <BR>
<BR>
The problem I have is that dhcp3-server and dnsmasq are currently fighting over who hands out the ip address. My vms work when they get their ip from dhcp3-server, and they fail when dnsmasq hands out the ip address.<BR>
<BR>
Unfortunately I can not get dnsmasq to stop handing out ip addresses. This is the configuration of my default network:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<network><BR>
<name>default</name><BR>
<bridge name="virbr%d" /><BR>
<forward/><BR>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"><BR>
</ip><BR>
</network><BR>
<BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Notice in the ip tag the optional dhcp tag is missing. Thus dnsmasq I thought, was supposed to leave well enough alone. It doesn't.<BR>
<BR>
I can turn off dhcp3-server and start up a host.<BR>
<BR>
What I see in the syslog is:<BR>
Jul 7 08:52:21 vmhost dnsmasq[3420]: DHCPREQUEST(virbr0) 192.168.122.244 52:54:00:8f:7c:a4 <BR>
Jul 7 08:52:21 vmhost dnsmasq[3420]: DHCPACK(virbr0) 192.168.122.244 52:54:00:8f:7c:a4 host1000<BR>
<BR>
Then when I run ifconfig on the host1000 vm, it has an ip address that it obviously got from dnsmasq.<BR>
<BR>
I just need dnsmasq to stop handing out IPs, how do I do that?<BR>
